Basically it boils down to the left being furious over Paul Lepage attempting to force welfare recipients to work for their food stamps

So let me make sure I have this right... using the IRS to target political enemies, leaving Americans to die on foreign soil in Benghazi, walking guns to Mexico to affect American Constitutional rights, sponsoring invasions, doubling the national debt are no big deal. Making welfare recipients work for their pay and insulting drug dealers are impeachable offenses.

Got it.

Last year, Gov. LePage called the Goodwill-Hinckley school and told them they should not hire dem Maine House speaker Mark Eves. They did not hire him. The governor was accused by the left of “illegal” behavior.

In Maine, many members of the Maine House and Maine Senate hold jobs outside of their elected positions.

Basically, the moonbat left here in Maine hate the very conservative republican governor.

They could not defeat him at the ballot box, so they will try any means to get rid of him anyhow, any way. The dems will not get their way.

Wow, did a “young white girl” orally copulate the Governor in the State Capitol Building or something?

I wasn’t aware that someone could be impeached for saying something. i thought they actually have to get caught breaking the law. Not surprising coming from the Left though.

Political reform in the USA will be impossible as long as we have a political, soviet-style central planning central monetary authority (in our case, the Federal Reserve) which is able to keep the government afloat with printed, unbacked money and massive debt. The Fed is the foundation of progressive government.

Typical. In Texas, Leftards are suing former Gov. Perry for vetoing a bill.

I like LePage, so I've followed this, a little. At worst, I think that his comments might have been a little ill-considered.

But he's been called a racist. And, called a bigot. Now he's being impeached for something called "Abuse of Power".

The only thing that I've not heard him called, is "Wrong".

Methinks that he hit a little close to the mark on this one.

Since Maine is 92% white, he made a very accurate statement.

So the governor is GWR (Governing While Republican)...sounds like profiling to me.

Paul Lepage had a rough rough childhood from what I’ve heard- He grew up dirt poor if I remember right- and it’s amazing he remained republican through it all- he is abrasive, has course language at times- and the left really despise him- He’s gonna have a heck of a fight on his hands as the left are hell bent on impeaching him or censuring him or whatever-

I believe He even had something to say about all the Somali muslims that invaded/were resettled in, Lincoln? Maine- or some town that begins with an L- Obarma settled them there apparently hoping to turn that area blue
